// notes on code, cycling, and other nonsense

i’m kristof — cto at danach.de, building a platform to plan and prepare the thing you leave behind after you’re gone. i’m a tinkerer at heart, write a lot of go, but is highly interested in zig and/or rust.

when not at a keyboard i’m probably on one of my bikes, (training for paris-brest-paris 2027) riding it for the fun of it. also into post-rock/metal/doomgaze and a bit blackgaze among adjacent genres. as long as its reverby and meaningful.

this blog is a scratchpad. expect rough edges and broken bits.

notes, ai, obsidian and returning to logseq

you (probably) didn't need that anyway
complexity is often overkill, and simplicity is the true power.
projects
danach.de founder & cto
a platform to plan and prepare the thing you leave behind after you're gone. you organize your affairs, document your life story, and make sure the people you care about are taken care of. not the most cheerful topic, but someone's got to build it.
piles.dev founder
a browser extension that sits in your toolbar and changes nothing about how you read. you highlight a passage, click once, and piles stores the snippet with its citation, source, metadata, DOI, all of it. no pop-ups, no folders, no tagging, no decisions while you're thinking. when the session's done you export one BibTeX or JSON file and import it into Zotero, Overleaf or your LaTeX project.
